Exactly.  There are several varieties.  It's difficult to ascertain whether the OP was referring to all or only some of these:


A decent amount of scaling can come from optimisations and efficiency savings - squeezing a larger quantity of transactions into the space we currently have available.  This is generally considered to be the least contentious option.  We'll hopefully see a few of these in the not-too-distant future.

Willing users can opt to send smaller transactions off-chain, sacrificing some security for speed and cost-effectiveness - leaving more space in blocks for significant sums that require the greater security provided by on-chain transactions.  Contentious to some, but it's a moot point.  Still in a fairly early developmental stage.  Currently more suitable for the tech-savvy "power users", rather than less experienced ones.  If successful, it could have the largest impact of all.

We can increase blockweight if absolutely necessary - a potential sacrifice to the decentralisation of the network in order to achieve greater throughput.  Highly contentious to many.  Difficult to achieve consensus on.  Generally considered a last resort.
